11.2. Communication with a PC or a superordinated data system

In general, the computer (master) sends commands to the instrument (slave). The
instrument sends data (including error messages) only when the computer sends a
query.



A transfer sequence consists of:

 address (RS485 interface only)

 command
 space

(; Hex: 20)

 parameter (the character separating decimals in a group is the period)

 end of file (; Hex: 0D)

The commands are divided into in or out commands.

in commands: asking for parameters to be displayed

out commands: setting parameters


The out commands are valid only in remote control mode.

When the RS485 interface is used, the three-digit instrument address stands in front
of each command.
(example: address Ad32 = A032)

Examples:

Command to set the working temperature to 55.5 °C

out_sp_00 55.5

A032_out_sp_00 55.5

Command to ask for the working temperature T1:

in_sp_00

A032_in_sp_00

Response from the instrument:

55.5

A032_55.5
